Audun Automat

Audun Automat was initiated in 2006 by bassist Audun Ellingsen and was originally a band inspired by European freejazz from the period around 1970. Since than the focus has moved from open forms to more composed structures and the expression has matured and become more nuanced. But we can still hear an echo of the 70 ́s in the instrumentation, the sound aesthetics and maybe even in the attitude to improvisation. The members of this group are part of the very active young, Norwegian jazzscene, and has experience from bands like The Core, Frøy Aagre, Arch70, Petter Wettre and Kenny Wheeler.

Inside the Beehive is Audun Automat ́s second release and consists of 8 pieces composed by Audun Ellingsen. The pieces varies from high-energy modaljazz to contemplative soundscapes - from chaos to perfect order. The music is based on strong melodies, complex structures, virtuosic improvisations and small hints of inspiration from far and near. The album is recorded on analogue equipment to get that organic sound of the 70 ́s.
